#52947 — Sleep unmounts hard drives improperly

I'm using a 2.7 GHz iMac running 10.9. I noticed my machine wasn't
actually going to sleep, so I went into the preferences and saw sleep
was turned off. Huh. Wonder why I did that. I turned it back on, and
discovered why: on waking from sleep, I received the error message that
one of my drives had been ejected improperly. That's a bad thing. I
have two external USB drives hooked up at the moment. Is there some
setting I might be missing here?

I have a separately powered 3TB external USB drive for Time Machine and 
Superduper! clone backups of my MacBookPro.  It goes to sleep when I 
shut the lid and wakes with this drive attached just fine.  I'm running 
10.8.5.  I don't have the "Put hard drives to sleep when possible" 
option checked in my Energy Saver settings.  I don't know if there's an 
equivalent on 10.9.


The only remotely relevant setting for this is the hard drives sleep.  I 
googled "Mavericks USB drives eject on sleep" and got this topic:

Seems like it's a bug.

Interesting. Thanks. I'm amused that the given solution, "resetting the
System Management Controller", doesn't list this as one of the things
it could fix on Apple's support page:

I'm going to turn off having the hard drives sleep for now and see if
that works. Thanks.

What make and model is the drive enclosure mentioned in the error
message?
